A nadie se le escapa que estamos en crisis. Ya se encargan todos los días los medios de comunicación, las agencias de riesgo y los abstractos pero decisivos mercados de recordárnoslo. Y en esta crisis, profunda, prolongada y angustiosa los sistemas sanitarios se han puesto en el punto de mira de los gobiernos, nacionales y trasnacionales, como elementos clave de generación y resolución de la crisis. De generación porque se interpreta que su ineficiencia es responsable en gran parte de la crisis. De resolución porque se entiende que las actuaciones que sobre los mismos se lleven a cabo favorecerán la salida. Así pues nos encontramos con dos elementos clave: crisis y sistemas sanitarios, que se conjugan de manera muy diferente pero que inevitable y lamentablemente han sido asociados de forma permanente. Para poder entender esta simbiosis y tratar de analizarla partiré de la sencilla fórmula de entender semánticamente lo que es crisis y lo qué es crisis sanitaria. ; Nobody can escape that we are in crisis. Already are responsible every day media, risk agencies and abstract but crucial markets reminded us. In this crisis, deep, prolonged and distressing health systems have been in the spotlight of national Governments and corporations, as key elements of building and resolution of the crisis. Generation because it interprets its inefficiency is responsible for much of the crisis. Resolution because it is understood that actions that envelope the same are carried out they shall foster the output. So then we have two key elements: crisis and health systems, which combine very differently but which inevitably and unfortunately, have been associated on a permanent basis. To understand this symbiosis and try to analyze it I operate the simple formula of semantically understanding what is crisis and what health crisis.

It seems so clear, so clearly obvious: we are living in times of crisis: global health crisis (Covid- 19), environmental crisis (the fires), socio-economic crisis (intensifying inequalities), political crisis (the autocrats). These layers of crisis, protracted crisis - this is what we name 'times of crisis'. Amin Samman takes up this condition of our times. His focus is on what he calls "financial times" and his main concern is to illustrate how "we imagine and produce history in financial times" (Samman, 2019: ix).
